I realize it was a federal trial, but it bothers me that he was sentenced to death for crimes committed in a state that doesn't have the death penalty, especially since the family of one of the victims had very publicly asked that he be sentenced to life in prison.

I am personally against the death penalty, because I believe it's a waste of tax payers money and of human life. I'd rather lock him up in a labor prison cleaning roads or something useful to society for the rest of his life.

He probably thinks he will descend upon heaven for dying as a martyr.
A lifetime in a max security prison from 21 years of age would have been the ultimate punishment imvho.

I agree. And I wonder if there is now going to be a bunch of appeals that will drag on for 15 years and cost a bunch of taxpayer money in the meantime.

The alternative of a lifetime in prison would have costed a lot more taxpayer money

Not necessarily. There are reams of data that I won't bother to quote showing the exact opposite.

Perhaps, but if he's keeping the highways clean, stamping screws or something similar, doesn't society benefit? And don't even get me STARTED on quality of living inside some prisons.

I agree.


I don't see how giving him the death penalty is going to bring justice to the families because killing this 21 year old boy is not going to bring any of the victims back.

I think the only reason why they gave him the death penalty was because they felt he should have "shown" more remorse but imo just because his remorse might not have been as visible in court does not mean he was not remorseful about what he did.


However, having this attractive boy live the rest of his life in a cell causes more emotional and psychological damage versus giving him a slow painless death. What is the message that we are trying to send? What is the lesson that needs to be learned? It also would have given him more time to reflect more on what he did and how he ended up in his predicament in the first place.

He set off that bomb with pure evil ill intent. All for a "cause". I'm sure at the time he wished to kill a lot of innocent people, considering the circumstances.

F*ck him.

You wanna pull that **** here? You die as a result.

And Soul, what the hell with the "attractive boy" crap?
